I can not get into my computer because it is froze, I need to get into the hard-drive to fix the problem or delete some viruses on my computer

I press the power button, the green light comes on, the fan turns on like it is going to turn on and then nothing happens. I waited 45 min last night then tried the tips found here earlier. I took out the battery, no luck, then took out the battery and turned the computer on without the battery installed and no luck. I have even left the battery out overnight (12+ hours) and still no help. Do I need to get a new computer and if so is there some way to get the things on my desktop? Thanks for any help you can give me.I press the power button, the green light comes on, the fan turns on like it is going to turn on and then nothing happens.

Step Two: When that loads, click on the "Tools" tab, then click on the "Check Now" button in the "Error

Checking" section.

Step Three: When that little window loads, place a CHECK in BOTH boxes, then click on "Start Now".

Step Four: A message will pop up saying that Error Checking will run after you restart the computer, so......Restart the computer. Error Checking will run automatically after the restart and it locks you out from doing anything until it's finished. It takes a little time to perform the task but after it's finished, it will restart into Windows automatically.

De fragment

Click on start >> Programms >>accessories >> System tools >> Defrag

Defrag your hard drive >> This may take some time.

After this system would be slow for couple of hours and then would be efficient.

please open your antivirus and do a complete scan and fix the errors.

Pls rate this solution according to its use in you. it will be much appreciated........

try to find the sound device from the device manager and activate it ...you can also try to update driver from there ..it will run an wizard for that ...if you do not have the sound driver ..its tricky ...http://www.driversdown.com/drivers/Acer-TravelMate-5100-Notebook-Realtek-Audio-Driver_73501.shtmlthis is the link where you will find it ....the name of your driver is Acer TravelMate 5100 Notebook Realtek Audio Driver v5.10.0.5211 Windows XP

Sounds like a hardware issue. I would guess that there is a bad connection between the usb's and the motherboard. If you are comfortable dismanteling the laptop and re-soldering the usb's than give that a try, but I would recomend you give it to a pro.
Here is a link that explains the process.

the best place that i can think of would be www.laptops-motherboard.com
If you are looking for something locally, i would suggest finding a smaller (mom and pop) computer store... not one of the big ones(best buy/circuit city). hope this helps, please rate if it does...thanks
